Topic: My Blog Sister is in the Hospital (Read 15210 times)

Matty the Damned just received an email regarding our beloved Bucko the Depraved. He's been admitted to hospital with a staph infection.

He's had a really rough time of it just lately and his health is rather precarious, more than he may have led some of you to think. Somewhere in his recent journeys he managed to get savaged by brutish Floridian bugs and the bites have become infected.

No matter how ill Bucko might be, I've no doubt he's found time to instruct the male staff on the correct administration of enemas.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

Brent I saw a post of you recently so I was hoping that everything was getting back on track. I'm sad to hear that yet another burden is affecting your life. I hope you get out of this staph infection soon and get a speedy recovery.

Bucko! Hurry up and get better, please. I love you and I'm going through Skyping-with-Bucko withdrawal. (And you're the only person I can ever have an intelligent conversation with about music. My iTunes would appreciate a quick recovery for you as well.)

Mike (who remembers all to well the extruciating pain and pus and burning from his staph infection)

I was wondering where Bucko was -- he's been noticeably absent. I regret that it's due to a staph infection.

Bucko, I hope you are on your way to recovery, and out of the hospital soon.

Good grief. Amidst all of my personal upheaval in the past day, I did not see this thread until just now. Buck-Buck, get better soon and get back with us. You are in my thoughts, wishing you a speedy return to your Depraved best.

No Fear No Shame No StigmaHappiness is not getting what you want, but wanting what you have.

Now how the hell did you get all those bug bites??? I want to know all the wreched details, and please stop at Walgreens on the way home and get some bug spray! I know they say we shouldn't use that shit, but it sure beats being abused by hospital staff.

Now, having just recovered from a staph infection myself; I am still amused that "Word" tells me constantly that I am spelling it wrong. I look forward to your return to health, and urge you to take care of Brent! He is terribly worth the effort.

Love,Tim.

Matty, please send Bucko my best regards. I didn't see this thread until this morning. by coincidence just late last evening I was thinking "Bucko's been unusually quiet of late."

I'm very sorry to hear he's been having a hard time. Send him my good wishes. I can't help thinking that despite whatever he's going through now, when he's more like his usual again he's going to end up creating some thoroughly uhmm impressive reporting out of this experience.

Thank you Matty for letting us know. I had been missing Brent but figured he was off exersising his extrordinary talents. Brent, please get well soon. If I can send you anything contact me via PM. Love you. Cristy
